it was. Add a FILE_WAIT state and queue threads waiting for a FILE
lock. Start using the sys/queue.h macros instead of the way that MIT
pthreads did it.
Add a thread name to the private thread structure and a non-POSIX
function to set this. This helps (me at least) when sending a SIGINFO
to a threaded process to get a /tmp/uthread.dump to see what the
<expletive deleted> threads are doing this time. It is nice to be
able to recognise (yes, I spell that with an 's' too) which threads
are which.
specifically:
uthread_accept.c: Fix for inherited socket not getting correct entry in
pthread flags.
uthread_create.c: Fix to allow pthread_t pointer return to be null if
caller doesn't care about return.
uthread_fd.c: Fix for return codes to be placed into correct errno.
uthread_init.c: Changes to make gcc-2.8 thread aware for exception stack
frames (WARNING: This is #ifdef'ed out by default and is
different from the Cygnus egcs fix).
uthread_ioctl.c: Fix for blocking/non-blocking ioctl.
uthread_kern.c: Signal handling fixes (only one case left to fix,
that of an externally sent SIGSEGV and friends -
a fairly unusual case).
uthread_write.c: Fix for lock of fd - ask for write lock, not read/write.
uthread_writev.c: Fix for lock of fd - ask for write lock, not read/write.
Pthreads now works well enough to run the LDAP and ACAPD(with the gcc 2.8 fix)
sample implementations.
Here are the diffs for libc_r to get it one step closer to P1003.1c
These make most of the thread/mutex/condvar structures opaque to the
user. There are three functions which have been renamed with _np
suffixes because they are extensions to P1003.1c (I did them for JAVA,
which needs to suspend/resume threads and also start threads suspended).
I've created a new header (pthread_np.h) for the non-POSIX stuff.
The egrep tags stuff in /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile that I uncommented
doesn't work. I think its best to delete it. I don't think libc_r needs
tags anyway, 'cause most of the source is in libc which does have tags.
also:
Here's the first batch of man pages for the thread functions.
The diff to /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile removes some stuff that was
inherited from /usr/src/lib/libc/Makefile that should only be done with
libc.
also:
I should have sent this diff with the pthread(3) man page.
It allows people to type
make -DWANT_LIBC_R world
to get libc_r built with the rest of the world. I put this in the
pthread(3) man page. The default is still not to build libc_r.
also:
The diff attached adds a pthread(3) man page to /usr/src/share/man/man3.
The idea is that without libc_r installed, this man page will give people
enough info to know that they have to build libc_r.
